[Barons lowering - free Webinar 3/24/13]

I want to thank everyone for all the advise and comments, special thanks to Mike G in SC for recommending Wild Bill. As Bill suggested I decided to lower the front by raising the forks. The reason I decided to go this route is because there is no need to replace any parts and as long as you have a good tool box anyone should be able to do it. I admit I took my sweet time since I was not in a rush. I began early evening and finished the next day. I lower the front 1.5". I am 5' 6" with a 29" inseam and am still not flat footed. I also have the cut down Corbin seat for those of you getting ready to suggest that However it is close enough. Also as Bill said the handling is much, much better. Easier to maneuver and my handle bars don't shake anymore when I let go of the handle bars. All in all am happy the way it turned out. Thank you all.

[Help: Lowering Bike with Barons Kit]

Hello fellow riders,

 

I purchased a lowering kit from barons to lower my 09 RSV however the instructions are pretty lame. Does anyone have a video or more precise instructions with pictures. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

[How do you lower a 2nd Gen Venture]

I am 5'5" 175lbs I had an 87 Venture also, but it was just too tall for me, I switched to a 2nd gen and thought about lowering it, but I went with a cut down Corbin seat, it lowered the seat ht at least 2-3" and with a set of thick soled boots with a good heal I am fine. I also run very little air in the rear shock. If you ever get down to Pa and want to sit on my bike, let me know.
